Anger management

Hi Andrea,

I understand you have an enquiry regarding anger and behaviour. People on the autism spectrum can often display behaviour that may be challenging. There will generally be a reason for this and it is important to try and understand the trigger for the behaviour when developing strategies.

Please see the following link for further information on behaviour and strategies:

You may want to seek professional support regarding the behaviour. You can search for professionals in your area on the Autism Services Directory: www.autism.org.uk/directory.aspx

The following link provides information on getting help from social services:

The National Autistic Society also provides services which may be of help: http://www.autism.org.uk/our-services.aspx

The Autism Helpline can provide information and advice on behaviour and strategies. Please see the following link for further information: http://www.autism.org.uk/our-services/advice-and-information-services/autism-helpline/specialist-services.aspx

I hope you find something here that is helpful.

Kind regards,
